Are you “nice”… or are you wired for survival?

In the latest episode of the Unfawning series, we break down how people pleasing, fawning, and self-abandonment get programmed into your nervous system.

This is not a personality issue.
It is a safety strategy your body learned.

In this video, we explore:

• How to tell if you are fawning on a nervous system level
• Why choosing yourself feels unsafe
• Small, low-stakes wins to build capacity
• A Kundalini Yoga practice to regulate and rewire

Healing does not happen through force.
It happens through safety and repetition.

If you have ever felt guilty for having needs, this one is for you.

Yogis,

You were not “easy going.”
You were surviving.

If setting boundaries feels heavy in your body, this is why.

When you live in a fawn response, your nervous system learned that safety meant:

• Keep the peace
• Do not upset anyone
• Stay agreeable
• Stay small

So when you try to say no now, your body reacts like you are in danger.

Tight chest.
Racing thoughts.
Guilt.
Fear of losing connection.

This is not a character flaw.
It is a survival pattern.

Boundaries are not about becoming harder.
They are about helping your nervous system feel safe enough to tell the truth.

In my Fawning series, I walk you through:

• What the fawn response is
• Why your body defaults to it
• How Kundalini Yoga supports regulation and self-trust

If you are working on boundaries right now, start there.

Watch the series and let me know what lands for you.

The 3rd episode of my series on Fawning is now live. Fawning is a relational trauma response. It lives in the body, and like fight, flight, and freeze is the body's way of protecting us.

Overgiving is one of the hallmarks of the fawn response.

When you learn to identify this response in yourself, you can make different choices. Looking forward to your feedback.

Many of us carry years of accumulated stress.

Kundalini Yoga works because it meets the body first.
We adapt the practice.
We respect capacity.
We build safety through repetition.

This is the foundation of Kundalini Yoga Training.

Your body might be saying yes before you even know what you feel.

That’s not weakness.
That’s the fawn response.

In Video 2 of the Fawning Series, I break down how fawning lives in the nervous system and why willpower doesn’t interrupt it.

If you’ve ever agreed to something and then felt tired, resentful, or confused afterward, this episode will help you understand what’s happening in your body.

There’s also a short breath practice to work with this in real time.

After you watch, tell me in the comments:

Do you notice your body going quiet, tense, or urgent before you agree to things?

I read every comment.

Sat Nam All,

Some of us learned to stay safe by staying agreeable.
Reading the room.
Smoothing things over.
Saying yes while our body said no.

That isn’t kindness.
That’s survival.

It's such an important survival strategy to learn about because most of us are doing it but are not even aware of it.

When i figured it out, it helped me change my life. So much so that I created a whole series on Kundalini Yoga, the Nervous System and the Fawn Response.

In this first video, I discuss what fawning is, how it develops in the nervous system, and why insight alone does not stop it.

If you’ve ever wondered
“Why do I keep overgiving?”
“Why do I freeze when I want to speak?”
“Why do I feel exhausted after being ‘nice’?”

This series is for you.

Watch the first video here.

If this lands, tell me one word for how this shows up in your life.
